Xerces

[snw9]

Xerces is a great song, it may sound teamsleepish but it actually feels like a deftones track..i really like the diversity within in this record. Its way more diverse than White Pony.

[DefGuy]

i really like it without the lyrics on, the music would make a great soundtrack

[AZDEFTONESFAN]

I love it too, especially when he goes ''I'll be waving'' and as he sings that some weird noise in the background from Frank goes off and it just sounds so fuckin sweet.

Yeah it's just really atmospheric. Especially when the chorus comes in. This is a damn sexy album...

Haha the Mortal Kombat dude in your av is moving in time to Pink Cellphone.

Haha awesome! Yeah Xerces has turned into a great song, especially if you listened to the demo version alot before hand.

+1

[DakkoN]

if only they didn't shorten that anthem like riff near the end of the song

[Chrisbo]

This song is definitely one of my favourite songs on the album, everything about it screams 'epic'. I mean the mention of 'universe', 'heaven', 'waving goodbye', total epic lyrics, and the music is pretty vast as well, with lots of atmosphere! Love it!

[Hidalgo]

love it

[deftoneskoen]

This is probitly my favorite song of this record among with riviére.This is a song that makes me cry and makes me think about things I normaly dont really think about.
Imagine a film with this as a end song (during the the last scene and the credits).
That would be great to me.

[Inadia]

It is a beautiful song.  Iam near the point if crying  everytime I hear it.

[Azwethinkweiz]

this song is beyond beautiful.

my favorite track on the record and one of the greatest songs ive heard in while.

anyone know what xerces means ?

[tarkil]

anyone know what xerces means ?

[Azwethinkweiz]

[law]

[Oldnewtype]

one of my favorites, its gorgeous.

[The Captain]

Everyone else is saying Team Sleep, but it reminds me a lot of Tinfed, which also featured Rick

[wither-I]

i run 5 miles just abt every day and i have that song on my i-pod play list,( so i can set my goal time)-in order to finish with that song. it gets me so pumped and i run like hell-as if i were sprinting away from everything i know!(good feeling) also im studying film and i would totally use this if i ever make a movie-grEaT soundtrack shit... only one boggle-i wish it were a little longer-maybe in the begining slap a half of the chorus in there- then go in wit the second verse idunno. 9/10

It is a perfect song even more when you know what is Xerces.

Xerces: The Xerces Blue butterfly (Glaucopsyche xerces) is an extinct species of butterfly. The species lived in coastal sand dunes of the San Francisco Bay area. The Xerces butterfly is the first American butterfly species to become extinct as a result of loss of habitat caused by urban development. The last Xerces Blue was seen in March, 1943 in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

[Pola]

thanks a lot for this information and you're right it's more perfect when we know what Xerces is!

when I heard the first version (the instrumental one) I found it perfect!
And when I heard the SWN version for the first time I've almost cried,it's so beautiful with the lyrics,I couldn't imagine it otherwise,this song is perfect!!

[chainsaw]

well... xerces for me... is beautiful... i remember the first time, I was going through some problems with this girl, and when I heard the song, suddenly I just cried of nowhere... amazing...

[bloody_liver]

Xerces is Team Sleepish in the sence that Rick Everett did the piano stylings on it
but with Teenager and shit, that was always Crookone

this song definitley has team sleep in it's heart though
the lyrics about escaping from the earth and shit is like
the team sleep escape plan from the deftones

[Deftones-88-05-Deftones]

I just love the lyrics and like I read it is very good when u r in troubles with ur girl 'cause at least you can remember the good times with this song and forget the problems.
